Dead by Daylight Channel - The Auric Cell: Content Cycle 2
Project Overview
PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS BEFORE AUDITIONING. I PROMISE YOU IT'LL HELP YOU GET CAST.
The Auric Cell is trying to cultivate forms of in-character Dead by Daylight Entertainment with continuity that allows these characters to come to life in a way that's never been done before. Channels like Saminations and Luminious offer exceptional content with their scripted DBD entertainment...but they're pretty much the only ones. I want to offer this show and hub as another option in the market: an option that differentiates itself by having more 3 dimensionality to its characters, posting more frequently, offering analysis/lore content as well. Not only that but doing all of this while maintaining a dynamic balance of comedy and depth through the writing and characters.
That's where YOU come in!
Below is a casting call for SOME of the many characters in Dead by Daylight. There will be future casting calls for future characters, but for now we’re looking for people to play RECURRING roles. Meaning, if you’re cast as Claudette or Cenobite or whatever, we’ll need you to be able to play them whenever a new script launches. Some characters are going to appear more than others, obviously, so compensation on each role will depend on how large or small of a part your role has to play. Compensation is also not guaranteed at the time of posting this casting call, but there's a strong chance it will be once we raise more funds from our Kickstarter. Until then, though, this will remain an unpaid casting call. ((But again, that's very likely to change.)) Any questions about compensation can be directed to me, Solomon Troupe.
In regard to acting stuff, consider the following 3 things:
These characters all have preexisting voice actors for the game of DBD, but unless the character you’re auditioning for is licensed ((meaning they come from a pre-existing media like Hellraiser or Silent Hill and were adapted into DBD)), we’re really just looking for YOUR take and YOUR voice in these parts. Don’t feel pressure to sound exactly like the character in the game unless the part specifically demands some level of that.
The turnaround times for file submissions are going to be fairly quick (often 1.5 to 2.5 weeks after the script is frozen) so gauge your level of commitment here. For a good chunk of these roles, it won’t be a one-off project. We’ll need you again. Even if it’s only for a line or two. So be ready for that.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please, after every audition, (briefly) notate how much you know about Dead by Daylight. This includes gameplay knowledge as well as lore and character knowledge. If it’s very little, tell me. If it’s quite a lot, tell me as well. LACK OF DBD KNOWLEDGE WILL NOT HURT YOUR CHANCES OF BEING CAST. I’m looking for RANGE and TALENT first and foremost. But since a lot of this humor may be referential, I think it’s important that the casting team gets a sense of your experience with the game. Also, please tell me the extent of your knowledge when it comes to the horror genre as a whole.
Also, if you're a UARTS student please let me know.
All that being said, if you have any questions let me know! Good luck with your audition. If YOU do a good job, then MY job as casting director becomes a hell of a lot easier. :)
I’ll see you in the fog.
-Solomon.

The Huntress is a brutal killer, able to use her physical strength to take out entire battalions of soldiers. But despite this she's rather calm and down to earth; focused mostly on hunting her prey and making dolls for the little girls she kidnaps.
For vocal delivery she does need a VERY strong Russian accent. Broken English, that kind of thing. She maybe knows 5 words of English on a good day. This accent can border into cartoonish, honestly. As long as we can still tell what she's saying and there's a bit of seduction/nurture to her voice. Because despite being a mass murderer, she's still a milf.
This role is being recast, so if you'd like to listen to what the role originally sounded like, I have provided a link here. Skip to around 41 minutes here:
And also here's a link to the Huntress Lullaby:
((Sing or hum roughly 20 seconds of the Huntress Lullaby that she performs in game. This can either be the old version or the newer one. If you don't know what the Huntress Lullaby sounds like, please look it up on YouTube.))
Hello Trapper boi. Hello Wraith boi. How goes your marriage?
Huntress does not care what side play for. If entity die, Huntress get to hunt. If entity live, Huntress get to hunt. If Huntress leave, Huntress get to hunt. It is win, win, and win. Do svidanya, everyone! Have a happy hunting. <3
Amanda Young is a fucked up individual suffering under the ideology of John Kramer (Jigsaw). She has a dark sense of humor with a dry delivery and a moral compass beyond repair. She's based on the Amanda Young from the Saw movies, specifically the third one, before she dies.
In terms of acting, try to match the energy Shawnee Smith had in Saw 3. Billie Eilish also has a similar energy if you listen to her speak in interviews. You don't have to sound exactly like Smith does in the Saw movies, but the closer the better. I'm looking for an Amanda who is a sarcastic, charismatic yet twisted, and deeply self-hating mess.
Here is a link to Shawnee Smith as the Pig in Saw 3. Skip to about 6:45.
Name’s Amanda Young. It means "Worthy of Love." Ahaha…haaaa!!! Sorry...Oh...the world is so fucking cruel, isn't it? I'm 30, I think. It's been a while since I've given a shit about my birthday, so forgive me. I was pretty fuckin’ normal till I got framed for something I didn't commit, fell into a pit of….uhm....."despair," got an addiction to heroin, aaaand accidentally caused the murder of an unborn child. Ya know, just your typical Tuesday.
I'm sorry. I know it's hard to concentrate when you're surrounded by so many things you could kill me with. Like this axe I saw you looking at.
[holds the axe out to Lynn]
Take it. Please, it's yours. Come on. I'd go for the neck, but I'm not the brain surgeon. Just do it quietly so John doesn't hear me die. Otherwise, he is likely to get upset, rip off his heart rate monitor - boom! Then, you just have to find the sensor and disarm it so you can walk more than thirty feet out that door without the collar detonating. Or, you could try and take the collar off yourself. But that could be tricky. The slightest knock in the wrong place could trigger it. I should know. I built it!
I fucking DARE you to "boop my snoot," douchebag.
Elliot Spencer, the Cenobite, is a BDSM sex demon who is a priest in the Horny Jail known as the Labyrinth. He is in Dead by Daylight to deliver pleasure to the Entity and pain to the survivors.
Voice wise, I'm just looking for a really good impression of Doug Bradley's character from the original Hellraiser movie. A link to it can be found here:
You opened the box. I came.
We are explorers in the further regions of experience. Demons to some. Angels to others. Now you must come with us. Taste our pleasures. Shhhh. No tears, please. It is a waste of good suffering.
The FitnessGram™ Pacer Test is a multistage aerobic capacity test that progressively gets more difficult as it continues.
The 20-meter pacer test will begin in 30 seconds. Line up at the start.
The running speed starts slowly but gets faster each minute after you hear this signal.
A single lap should be completed each time you hear this sound.
Remember to run in a straight line, and run as long as possible.
The second time you fail to complete a lap before the sound, your test is over.
The test will begin on the word start.
On your mark, get ready, start.
Carmina Mora is a tortured political artist, loosely based on Chilean activist and musician Victor Jara. She has seen immense sadness in her life, but remains rather headstrong, bold, and empathetic. Because of a curse inflicted to her by the Entity, she has become half crow and half woman.
Her voice should have bird-like elements to it when delivering lines. Whether this is before, during, or after she speaks, I will leave to your imagination and creativity. If you want a better idea of the kind of sounds she makes in game, I have provided a link here:
Dead by Daylight - Artist sounds - YouTube
Also, while I would heavily prefer some sort of Latin American accent (Chilean would be great), the accent isn't mandatory. And while I would prefer someone of Hispanic descent to play the role since it's an important part of her character and she will speak spanish sometimes, this will not be a dealbreaker with casting.
((give me about 30 seconds of your best bird noises. try to emulate a crow.))
Desde el hondo crisol de la patria....
Se levanta el clamor popular....
Ya se anuncia la nueva alborada...
Todo Chile comienza a cantar!
(note: these are song lyrics but they do not have to be sung)
Not all systems of oppression can be dismantled as easily as you believe them to be. You will see in time that violence begets more violence. I have seen it up close in my home country. I beseech you, Evan, to join us. Before it is too late.
Claudette Morel is a canadian botanist who has the innate ability to teach others to care for themselves. She is autistic and very shy, but springs to life when interacting with plants and flowers. They are her special interest. She is a pure cinnamon roll who has literally never done anything wrong ever, spending more time hiding in a bush rather than interacting with people. But when she does talk to people, she is kindhearted and empathetic.
Um, hello Ghostface. Is...uhm...is there a reason why you...uhm...kidnapped me?
Growing up...it was always hard to uhm...to..to speak up? You know? I always felt like no one wanted, er, like...no one had the patience to hear me out? People...they never heard me. But...plants? They always listened. No matter what. There, uhm...there's an old adage out there about, uhm...how...if...if you talk to a plant, it helps it grow? But, uhm...there's a lot of r-reasearch out there to support that hypothesis, actually. And I think...I think that's really...like...really beautiful. That an act--that an action as simple as talking to something...it helps it grow. ((Claudette laughs a little, then pauses.))
...I'm...I, uh...im sorry. You didn't want to--to hear all of that, did you? You, uhm...you can, uhm, stab me now, if you want. Would that...would that help you grow?
Well....I mean. I-I'm....not, you know...Meg...or, uh....David...or....Ash? I, uh....I wouldn't say i'm...all that brave. So...I blend. I-It's how I survive. (pause) ...do...you...do you want to look at the flowers here, Danny? They're really pretty, actually. (pause) Sometimes really....rea--really pretty things...they can come from really....ugly...places....I...uhm,....here! Take one! This one is thorny, l-like you!....haha. <3 ...uhm...s-sorry...that...that was mean.
Laurie Strode, formerly Cynthia Myers, is introverted, soft spoken, and a resourceful survivor. She's a bit paranoid, always worried that Michael Myers is waiting for her around the corner, but despite this remains a decently kindhearted person.
Voice wise, i'm looking for something similar to the low, nurturing voice that Jamie Lee Curtis has in the original 1987 Halloween film. A compilation of her talking can be found here:
Character Tribute - Halloween (1978): Laurie Strode - YouTube
Try your best to match her energy.
My name is Laurie Strode. And...I always feel like someone is out there, watching me.
Please, get on the generator! He could come at any moment.
What is it like being the object of obsession? Not fun...not fun at all. Trust me...you don't want this perk.
Quentin Smith is from the 2010 remake of the Nightmare on Elm Street movie. You know that feeling when you're super tired, but you HAVE to stay awake for just a little while longer? Yeah, he's been like that for YEARS because of Freddy Krueger.
I'm just looking for a slightly groggy American teenager voice. But even though he's constantly tired, the audience shouldn't be put to sleep with every line he says. In your delivery, find some way to sneak in a bit of personality into his lines. Bonus points if you can channel the vibe that Kyle Gallner has in the movie. Link to an example here:
A Nightmare on Elm Street #1 Movie CLIP - You're Dreaming, But You Don't Know It (2010) HD - YouTube
*yawns* Heyyy guys...this is uh….this is Quentin Smith. And today...today I wanna...I want….*yawns*....((Quentin snores for about 10 seconds, then wakes up)) ...wha--AAH!?!?! NANCY, I'M HERE! I...uh...oh...uhhh…*yawns.* Yeah. Buy my perk "Vigil" today. That's V...I...G….zzzzZzzzz….
Nightmares are triggered by the belief that the dreamer has no control. This can cause insomnia. At the 70 hour mark the insomniac will experience "micronaps." Micronaps occur when the brain attempts to shut down its functions for several seconds in an attempt to recharge itself. This basically means that you're dreaming...but you don't know it.
Anybody got a redbull? ...anyone? Re-Redbull? ...no? ...any coffee? Starbucks OR Dunkin! I don't really care. ...nobody? ...(groans, then:) fuck it I'm going back to bed...
Ash Williams can be described with a lot of words. Arrogant. Cocky. Horny. A bit of a douchebag. But at the end of the day, he'll go to hell and back to save his friends. Or the human race. Whatever comes first.
This character is from the TV Show Ash vs Evil Dead. I need an actor who can channel as much of Bruce Campbell's energy from that show as possible. You don't have to sound exactly like him, but the vibe should definitely be there. Clips that may help you can be found on YouTube:
My name is Ash Williams. And I am the SAVIOR OF HUMANITY! Haha. That's right. That's me, baby!
Hey pretty lady. What's a girl like you doing in a place like this? If you let me off this hook, I can show you a good time. You ever been with a guy with a puppet for a hand? Let me tell ya, my reviews are way better than you'd think.
((Whatever female he was talking to walks away.))
Wha--?? Hey! Help me out here!! THERE'S A DAMN MEAT HOOK STABBING THROUGH MY FLESH!!! ((pause)) Ugh..chicks. can't live with 'em...will literally die without 'em...
You're not dying today, pal. Come on! We're getting the FUCK out of here! What do you say? ((pause))
Haha, groovy! Follow me, kid.
Nancy Wheeler is a determined journalist. Though young, she's headstrong and has somewhat quick wit. She's has been experiencing the horrors of the Entity's realm with her current boyfriend Jonathan and her ex-boyfriend Steve.
The closer you can get to Nancy Wheeler's vibe in Season 3 of Stranger Things the better. Here's what she's like:
My name is Nancy Wheeler. And I am going to find the truth.
Jonathan, Steve, come on! We have to get to the lab before this whole thing blows up!
Eeeww....gross...what IS that thing? ((Pause)) Wait, Steve, don't TOUCH IT YOU DONT KNOW WHAT IT--!!! ((Pause)) Ugh...sometimes it's like I'm babysitting, I swear...
Steve Harrington is a former jock turned single mom of 5. He is now the best character of Stranger Things by far, and sets the bar for himbo rights.
Looking for someone to match the energy Joe Keery has in his performance of Steve through Stranger Things. The cocky jock side of Steve seen in season 1, as well as the bumbling but caring and charismatic side of Steve seen in season 3. Here is a Steve Compilation. Even if you don't audition for this character, please just watch this video it's so funny:
Steve Harrington being a dingus for 6 minutes (S1-S3) - YouTube
Ahoy, ladies! My name's Steve Harrington! You wanna know why they call me the Big Scoop?
Woah, woah, woah. Hold on. You're my friend now, right? (pause) Well okay then! That means you're safe with me. No matter what. Haha! Now come with me. (pause) But don't cream your pants about it.
Have you ever had a dream that, that, um, that you had, uh, that you had to, you could, you do, you wit, you wa, you could do so, you do you could, you want, you wanted him to do you so much you could do anything?
Yui Kimura is as badass as you can get. She shows leadership and toughness without sacrificing compassion. She's a Japanese motorcycle rider with a feminist biker gang. Truly the definition of a girl boss.
Looking for someone with a Japanese accent that can portray strength and resolve.
My name is Yui Kimura.
This is Yui Kimura. As a Strong Female Character Trademark, I know more than anyone that you have to stand up for yourself, using whatever's on hand to gain an advantage. You have to hit 'em with everything you've got. And then hit 'em again! So how do you fight back against those stupid gender expectations? With my perk; "Any Means Necessary!"
You’re not some “chosen one”, Evan. There is no main character here. (to the group) It’s gonna have to be a group effort, everyone. We’ve got a long road ahead of us. And there’s a good chance many of us are going to die along the way. But we have to stop the Entity’s reign if we’re ever going to be truly free of evil. We can do it, everyone. And if we can’t…at least we can say we went out fighting!
Cheryl Mason is a complex figure since she's part normal teenage girl and part demonic angel deity. (The Silent Hill lore is weird and confusing.) She's kind, calm, and introverted, with a bit of a snarky/witty side too. She also has hella PTSD from all of the horrifying cult shit she saw in Silent Hill.
She already has an established voice actor, so we're looking for anyone who can match the vibe of Heather Morris's performance in Silent Hill 3.
My name is Cheryl Mason. And something terrible happened in Silent Hill 17 years ago. A woman named Dahlia. She tried to summon the ancient god of the town. She offered up her very own daughter. Maybe it was crazy, but it worked. The girl gave birth to a god. You see, that girl had special powers. Her classmates called her a witch. She could make things happen with her mind. She could kill people just by wishing for it. But in the end, that God was killed by a single person. My father, Harry Mason. I guess it wasn't much of a god if it could be killed by a human being.
I’ve killed a god once. I can do it again. Maybe if I finish the job this time I can finally stop feeling so guilty for just surviving.
...I have a bad feeling about this.
Yun-Jin Lee is a successful music producer, owning her own label. She is incredibly hard working and self-assured, so much so that she will do most anything to achieve her goals. She's ruthless and cutthroat, putting the "bitch" in boss bitch.
The character is South Korean but does not need an accent. However, if you can do a Korean accent, you'll get extra points.
I assume I'm the favorite to win. I mean, look who's left. Weird goth girl, a criminal, a fart machine, a party dude, a psycho hose beast, and Leshawna. And the only thing she has going for her is that she hasn't made any enemies. What the fuck ever. We're not here to make friends. We are here to win. And that is exactly what I plan on doing.
Kurt, I took what you said to heart. I thought long and hard about it and...it occured to me that you may have a point. Maybe Brittany and I are too young to get married.
I mean, after all, that’s why it didn’t work out with you and Blaine, right? Or maybe it didn’t work out because you’re a judgmental little gerontophile with a mouth like a cat’s ass. Maybe Blaine got tired of hearing your shrill, self-aggrandizing lecture about how you felt the two of you were at the very apex of the gay rights movement every time you so much as cooked macaroni and cheese together. Or farted. Maybe Blaine didn’t wanna be with someone who looks like they just removed their top row of dentures every time they smile, or someone who doesn’t dress like an extra out of one of Andy Dick’s more elaborate wet dreams. Maybe he grew weary of dating a breathier more feminine Quinn Fabray. Maybe he finally got freaked out by your strange obsession with old people that causes you to skulk around nursing homes like one of those cats that can smell cancer. Maybe he got tired of watching you drape yourself on every piano you happen past to entertain exactly no one with. Sing some song that Judy Garland choked on her tongue in the middle of, or some sassy old Broadway standard made famous by another dead alcoholic crone. Maybe Blaine woke up one day and said, ‘You know what, I don’t wanna marry a sexless self-centered baton-twirler. Maybe I need someone who knows more than three dance moves:’ the finger wag, the shoulder shimmy, and the one where you pretend to twirl two invisible rainbow-colored ribbons attached to your hips." So you know what? Maybe that’s why it didn’t work out. Maybe it has nothing to do with me and Brittany, and maybe it’s just that you are utterly, utterly, intolerable. Maybe that has something to do with it.
Get your shit together.
((very friendly)) My name is Yun-Jin Lee with Mighty One Entertainment. And you're watching Disney Channel.
Jill Valentine is a veteran agent of S.T.A.R.S. who is determined to stop the evils of the Umbrella Corporation. She is a courageous, team-oriented leader with a strong sense of justice.
We're looking for someone to bring the same type of professionalism and badassary that Nicole Thompson had in portraying this character in the Resident Evil 3 remake. Listen to this video for reference. Skip to about 5 minutes in:
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?
My name is agent Jill Valentine. According to your interview with the Trapper and the Wraith, you're a genius weapon specialist, correct? I think it would be in our best interest to work together. You know...((taunting)) if you can handle it.
COME ON YOU CREEPY ASS STALKER! YOU WANT STARS? I'LL GIVE YOU STARS!
Leon Kennedy is a rookie officer. On his first day on the job he had to deal with a zombie outbreak, so he's already become somewhat traumatized. Despite this, he has a strong sense of justice and trust. He tries his best to serve and protect those around him. He's also a little bit of a dingus sometimes but we still love him for it.
Here's what he sounded like in the resident evil 2 remake:
I'm officer Leon Kennedy. Here to serve and protect.
((Reassuring)) Don't worry. We're gonna stop this. No matter what it takes. As long as we stick together, we'll be alright.
Wha--?? Hey, what are you trying to get at?! I'm good with ladies. EXTREMELY good. One of them fell for me hard. Fell about 10,000 feet, actually. If she weren't dead right now, she would totally vouch for me.
Mikaela Reid is a young mystic. She's an astrology girl that uses tarot cards and does palm readings and probably has one of those witch pages on TikTok. But despite all of that, she actually does provide value to her friends and teammates with her uncanny psychic abilities.
Welcome one, welcome all, to the Moonstone! Please enjoy today's special, Pumpkin Ghoul Pie with, may I suggest, a cup of Franken Spice Coffee while I do my best to entertain you with tonight's story. This one comes from a challenge I received from friends to tell a scary story that could go on forever. I'm not sure if it's as scary as it's gross, but it's certainly fitting for Halloween, and it takes place in Medieval Europe. I call this one "Tiny Awful Things." But my friends are telling me I should probably call it "The Forever Horror." Have a listen and let's discuss afterwards.
Whoa...you have the most intense Scorpio aura I've ever felt! It's, like, all OVER your charts!!! Well, maybe there's some Aries in there, too, from the way you're looking at me. But still! You're such an enigma! I have to know everything about where the stars were when you were born!
My name is Mikaela Reid. I use They/She pronouns. I'm really excited to work with all of you. And, more importantly, to find out what Hogwarts House you all are! Haha, kidding. Kidding, of course. ((pause)) Oh gods wait i'm SO sorry. That joke was probably horrendously offensive since she's a TERF and all. I am so sorry. I would like to recognize my privilege going forward. Would anyone like to be my accountability partner?
Jonah Vasquez is a brilliant mathematician who works for the FBI. He is friendly and relatively confident, and he's determined to use numbers to find his way out of this twisted game.
This character is Hispanic American but does not need any accent like that. However, if you have one that's totally fine too.
The quadratic formula is a formula that provides the solution or solutions to a quadratic equation. There are other ways of solving a quadratic equation instead of using the quadratic formula, such as factoring (direct factoring, grouping, AC method), completing the square, graphing and others. But a general quadratic equation takes the form of ax^2 + bx + c = zero.
((ignore this, idk why it's here:))
{\displaystyle ax^{2}+bx+c=0}No...no, wait. Stop! This...This isn't adding up. The numbers....they're...th-they're WRONG! They don't make sense! If you don't stop you're going to--!!!
((Jonah's partner explodes))
AAAAAH!! OH MY GOD!!
3.1415926535897932384626433832....hm? Oh, no. I can go on for DAYS. It's easy as pi. Hahahaaa!
(pause)
...well, *I* thought it was funny...
Jake Park is a iron willed korean-american with a calm spirit. Using his survivalist acumen, he can also be quite the saboteur to any villain's plans. Despite all of the horrific events in the entity's realm, he is genuinely unfazed by most of it. He can look death in the face and not even blink. Since some killers find great enjoyment in murdering him and his friends, Jake finds great enjoyment in making that job as difficult and unfulfilling as possible for the killers. He is a man with Big Dick Energy, but doesn't feel the need to flaunt it. He's what the incels would call a "Sigma Male."
Oh. It's you. You're going to gut me like a fish now, right? Go ahead. I'd like to return to the campfire. Jeff and I were having a fascinating conversation about philosophy before this little interruption.
Your objective is to kill me. My objective is to survive. Currently, I am failing in that regard. But what incentive do I have to make this more fun for you? You're gonna end up fapping over my mutalited corpse no matter what I do. The least I can do, as a survivor, is to deny you any satisfaction from doing so. It's nothing personal, Danny. Now come on. Shank me. Go ahead big guy.
My name is Jake Park. And you're not that guy, pal. ((laughs, and then:)) You are NOT that guy.
Nea Karlsson is a punk and a rebel. She likes being edgy and spray painting buildings in her free time.
She's pretty much a one off joke character BUT she NEEDS a vaguely Swedish accent. So really I literally just need a female with decent mic quality that can do a Swedish accent.
Hello everyone. My name is Nea Karlsson. And for the last FUCKING time, I am NOT the Entity!
Hey! Mr Killer man! Over here! Come chase me! I know you want to!
Dont test me. Ugh, you're all so annoying.
